⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $10.4M/yr
74.5% probability / year

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 30 [#3] Dedicated MTF Delta-44 24/7 perimeter and park patrol staffing (30 operatives total).
Research Scientist 8 [#22] Scientific staff (RF engineers, physicists, linguists, xenobiologists) ~8 FTEs.
Medical Officer 3 [#39] Medical staffing for quarantine and ongoing medical support (on-call doctors/nurses); approximated from $300k/yr medical budget.
📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are explicitly estimated and detailed (good medium confidence), but the anomaly's unpredictable manifestation rate and potential for K-Class events inject substantial uncertainty in long-run costs.
